• Handbook on Supply and Use Tables: Compilation, Application, and Good Practices followed in Africa (practices relevant to Africa) • Handbook on Supply and Use Tables: Compilation, Application, and practices relevant to Africa • Supply and Use Tables: Training Materials for Africa • Supply and Use Tables in Africa: Some Guidelines • Supply and Use Tables in Africa: Compilation Guidelines and Good Practices followed in African countries Action points from EGM discussions Action point Responsibility Introduction before each chapter DB/RK Cross-referencing to SNA, wherever elaboration is necessary DB/RK Examples and exercises For each component of SUT, the structure of explanation could be (i) concepts, (ii) data sources ways to compile, (iii) examples Few examples by DB/RK and annexes to include country examples As feasible DB/RK Chapter 7 (old) on balancing to include Steve’s example ECA Brief text on SUT uses in compiling IO tables/SAM/CGE models and their uses in policy and planning ECA Abbreviations and chapters editing ECA Chapter 1 • More explanation and relationship between prices • Explain that weaknesses also could be on supply side data • Explain a bit more on cif/fob adjustment • More products does not necessarily mean more quality of SUT • Quote changes in 2008 SNA wherever there are changes • Even if robust data is not available, countries should compile SUT as it presents the best structure for GDP estimation Chapter 2 • Brief text on estimation in the commodity flow approach when data is not available • How to replace doubtful data • Can we assume imports and exports to be firm Chapter 3 • Whether foreigners but residents expenditures are covered in HIES, if not how to adjust for this • Some examples of PPPs could be included Chapter 4 • include it as part of Chapter 1 Chapter 5 • Explain more on what is production • Transport costs refer to only freight – need to be clarified in the text • Is there any easy way for estimating CFC (explain in chapter 8 – problem areas) • Explain a bit more on how to break-down when only the data on total tax is available – not by product break-down Chapter 6 • Cross-referencing and texts on the usage of words ‘or’ need to be relooked • Use ‘final consumption expenditure’ term everywhere in the report • Add in the definition of HFCE, ‘satisfaction of human needs’ • For IC estimation, small samples on each industry could give input ratios Chapter 7 • What are the advantages and disadvantages of using RAS • At what stage RAS and manual balancing should be used • How to deal with large discrepancies • Text on mechanical methods other than RAS Chapter 8 • More examples • Will the use of SUT improve the coverage of these problematic areas • What is their relative importance • Increment in livestock – output and GFCF/CII – relationship may be explained • Some text on FISIM and CFC • How to allocate crops spread over different years Chapter 9 • Heading could be “Informal Economy in the context of GDP exhaustiveness” • Difference between 1993 and 2008 SNA • Advantages between direct and indirect approaches • Linking text between SUT and exhaustiveness Chapter 10 • Text to include use of VAT data in estimating output of formal sector; and also mention income tax sources • Can be sources of data given in the text be segregated by industries? • More elaboration on specific IO surveys • How to allocate product total TTM between trade and transport • How to obtain government expnditures by product • Can the Eurostat example be included in the chapter • Add ‘water’ to utilities in the sources Chapter 11 • To explain the contexts when RAS is not appropriate and when to use modified RAS • How long between benchmarks? To explain for how many years the SUT structure is valid • Dealing with new industries in SUT updation • What is the status of an updated SUT? Can the SUT updates be used for annual national accounts Chapter 12 • Text to mention that NPIs serving government and corporations are not part of NPISH • Any changes in 2008 SNA on treatment of NPISH • COFOG is difficult to implement and final budget data comes after two years • To be part of chapter 3 on ICP requirements Chapter 13 • Text to include the role of national industry classification • Concordance classifications adopted by Asian Development Bank (web link to be provided) • Allocation of ‘other items’ • Suggestions for improving resources for NA and SUTs • (to collect the PPT of Burkina Faso)
